Last Saturday, I spent a foggy, drizzly day at a beautiful family wedding in Austin. There was an early ceremony and then a break until the dinner and reception. Most of us “youngins” hung out in the bar while our parents were in the father-of-the-bride’s suite.

UT Tower: Just as pretty in the fog.
Me, my Aunts and Cousins chilling in the bar.

As you can see, I wore the Jules in Botanical. I was lucky enough to find this in a size 8 when the 40% off was still going on, making it $120. I spent another $30 on alterations and I just love it. The 8 is a perfect fit in the arms and shoulders. The length is just at the knee, very non-Jules. I had the sleeves shortened to 3/4-length and the sides taken in to give it some shape with a slight curve. It came out perfect! I added just my Pave’ link bracelet and my trusty Babette heels to finish the look. 
Tons of compliments on the dress, and whole outfit, along with a great band with lots of dancing made for a fabulous wedding. I love spending time with my family! We are a crazy bunch!

The Jules Dress is one of my favorites from J Crew. I know the length on those over 5’3″ can be escandaloso or indecent but for a shorty like me, it’s perfect.

I wore this to dinner with Husband and some friends a few Fridays ago. We ate at NAO which is the student-staffed restaurant for the Culinary Institute of America – San Antonio and located at the renovating Pearl Brewery. After dinner we headed next door to the Blue Box Bar where I had a delicious Champagne Cocktail…or two.

I kept the outfit plain and simple with the Pave’ Link Bracelet and Babette Heels.

I do think this dress will look good as a tunic and wish the weather would cool off so I can add a belt, leggings and black boots. Too bad JC didn’t add the pattern to a pencil skirt. It would’ve sold like hotcakes.

Have a Great Day! And Go Vote if you haven’t done so already!
